Ingredients

For the Ravioli:

  • Fresh lobster meat (from lobster tails or whole lobsters)
  • Pasta dough (homemade or store-bought)
  • Ricotta cheese
  • Lemon zest
  • Fresh herbs (tarragon, chives, or parsley)
  • Salt and pepper

For the Zesty Lemon Butter Sauce:

  • Unsalted butter
  • Garlic and shallots
  • Dry white wine
  • Fresh lemon juice and zest
  • Heavy cream (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Ravioli Filling:

    • Cook lobster meat and chop into small pieces.
    • Combine chopped lobster, ricotta cheese, lemon zest, and herbs. Season with salt and pepper.

    • Place small spoonfuls of lobster mixture on one sheet. Cover with another pasta sheet and seal around the filling.
    • Cut into individual ravioli shapes.

  • Cook the Ravioli:
